### Paperwork
The software world changes rapidly and the future is always a little murky. With

**A**greement_, or an FLA, that allows me to change Willow's license at any time
_without_ contributor input, but _with_ stipulations.
Willow will always be free software, but it's hard to anticipate the future. We
may want to change to a different Free (FSF approved) and Open Source (OSI
approved) license in the future. To allow this limited relicensing, I ask
contributors to sign a _**F**iduciary **L**icense **A**greement_, or an FLA,
that allows me to change Willow's license at any time _without_ contributor
input, but _with_ those license limitations.
Willow's FLA transfers the contributor's copyright over their contribution to
Amolith and limits which licenses he can choose to "licenses the Free Software
